Stand Up and Redo

There is a Season for Healing and a Season for Moving Forward

There is a season for healing and a season for moving forward. Sitting on a mountaintop along Skyline Drive, listening to the wind move through the trees, l find myself reflecting on life, loss,healing, and what it truly means to move forward. In this deeply personal episode, I share lessons from a year of counseling, heartbreak grief, faith, and self-discovery. We explore the difference between reflection and rumination, why some wounds need our attention before they can heal, and how carrying wisdom is different from carrying pain. I also share a conversation with a dear friend who challenged me to ask an important question: Why am I willing to create beautiful experiences for everyone else but not for myself? If you’ve ever struggled with loss,regret,guilt,heartbreak,or feeling stuck in your past, this episode is for you. There is a season for healing. There is a season for reflection. And there is a season for moving forward. Take the wisdom. Leave the wound. Take the lesson. Leave the shame. Join me as I share why I believe our past shape us, but it does not define our future.

55 Year Old Woman Walking on the Bay

There’s a strange thing about getting older — inside, we still carry every version of ourselves we’ve ever been. In this reflective episode of Stand Up and Redo with Petra DeMusz, Petra walks along the bay and reflects on what it means to be 55 years old while still somehow being 5, 8, 14, 26, and 30 all at once. The same soul. The same wonder. The same person who once ran barefoot toward the water chasing life, love, freedom, and meaning. As the walk continues, a quiet moment with an older man and his small dog becomes something deeper — a reminder that no one is simply “old.” Every face carries decades of stories, heartbreaks, adventures, dreams, losses, laughter, and memories invisible to the outside world. This episode is about learning to see people fully. Not as strangers. Not as age. But as entire lifetimes wrapped inside a single human being. A peaceful, thought-provoking reflection on aging, humanity, empathy, and the beautiful truth that we are all still every age we have ever been.https://youtube.com/@standupandredo?si=3RFIeWoqQTh5QScK [https://youtube.com/@standupandredo?si=3RFIeWoqQTh5QScK] Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2521262/fan_mail/new] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2521262/support] https://Facebook.com/petra.d.rivera https://wwwpetrademusz.buzzsprout.com/ [https://wwwpetrademusz.buzzsprout.com/]

Peace, Nirvana or your Zen~Can you find it?

In this episode of Stand Up and Redo with Petra DeMusz, we explore what it truly means to find peace, nirvana, and your own personal zen in a world obsessed with appearances, validation, and the image we present to others. What if peace was never something you could buy, achieve, or perform for the outside world? What if it was something already waiting quietly within you? Through personal stories, reflection, humor, and heartfelt conversation, this episode dives into the difference between superficial peace and soul-deep peace — the kind that comes from grounding yourself in something greater than your fears, your insecurities, your titles, your followers, or your reflection in the mirror. Together, we unpack the idea that real peace is not found in perfection, applause, or pretending to have it all together. It’s found in authenticity, surrender, spiritual grounding, self-acceptance, and learning how to quiet the noise around you long enough to find something bigger to anchor to. If you’ve been exhausted from trying to keep up appearances, searching for meaning, or longing for a deeper connection with yourself, God, or the world around you, this episode is your invitation to pause, breathe, and rediscover what truly matters. Because maybe peace was never outside of you at all.

Do you have to make a decision? Don’t let indecision make you miserable.

In her stories she encourages you to face your indecision as well and with confidence can share that indecision is wicked and can keep you in a life of turmoil and limbo.
